[olug] Feb 3 6:30: What's new in Perl?

[Jay Hannah]

Huh, really? Bummer...

Is /usr/bin in your $PATH when you start a fresh shell? 

"perlbrew env" seems to show me that it doesn't change $PATH?

➜  jhannah-Air:~  which tar
/usr/bin/tar
➜  jhannah-Air:~  perlbrew list
  perl-5.20.1
* perl-5.21.8
➜  jhannah-Air:~  perlbrew env
export PERLBREW_PATH="/Users/jhannah/perl5/perlbrew/bin"
unset PERLBREW_PERL
export PERLBREW_ROOT="/Users/jhannah/perl5/perlbrew"
export PERLBREW_VERSION="0.71"

Ponder,

j
